I guess it's either that Greg or Jeru FC to get the playoff! Playing the Holy Empire 2nd last game isn't very helpful really.

Ouch, that's tough.

With the craziness of some of the results this campaign, you'll probably somehow qualify as top of the group with a 0-0 draw.

In order for that to happen, Kandorith and I would have to lose our respective final matches to the two teams in our group that have earned a total of two points outside of matches against each other and have not posted any RPs or even a roster.

Right now I'm terrified of the three-way tie turning into a two-way tie between myself and Kandorith, which would drop me from first to second and into the playoffs (which might as well be a death sentence for me).

So please keep that three-way tie alive, Buyan, unless Kandorith does drop points to his final opponent, in which case you can do whatever.

Right now, a two way tie is happening on group 20, I hope to beat Saintland in order to go to the WC directly and wait for a bad result for SUS which I want that happening. But seeing that, Let's see what Margaret prepares for today.

If both my nations win then they will both qualify directly. However, they both play the top seed AWAY! With losses, Chiata gets knocked to second while Carialus gets third for three cycles in a row.

I mean Antoletia could lose as well. Seems probable in my book.

by **Ceni** » Sun Apr 05, 2015 6:39 pm

Well currently my qualification prospects are in Maggie's hands...

by **Yttribia** » Sun Apr 05, 2015 11:57 pm

Hey all, just want to announce that the second leg of the playoffs will be cutoff at a later time. Around 0500 and 0600 UTC. Thanks for understanding, and good luck to those still in!

Kazamatsuri has two easy games, so they will likely get a spot. With that, it will come down to Chiata @ Turori (assuming we both win our easy games). Turori at home coupled with having 8 or so more KPB points doesn't sound too good for my side.

Oh, yeah.

*sees Valladares lose to Albaie*

*praises Margaret*

*then also loses to Xzyxrouw*

I swear that in the second-last matchday it said I'm assured a spot in playoffs, now I'm eliminated. :unsure:

It's been a long time since I've been nervous enough about a result to wake up half an hour earlier than usual.

A World Cup without Valanora?

When was the last time that happened?

I feel like the last trumpet's sounded, the seventh seal's been broken, and the Four Horsemen of the Apocalypse are about to descend on the World Cup.

by **Sargossa** » Mon Apr 06, 2015 5:17 am

While righteous Elven fury descends upon the Cup of Harmony. It would sure suck to be in that group.

And I don't know what dirt Gloriax had on Margaret but it sure did the trick.

World Cup 32, the first SQIS World Cup and my worst ever World Cup -_-

I also missed that one I think

Group 6 had both the least points for a first-placed team and the least points for a second-placed teams. I bet Chiata's as proud as I am.

Well, Carialus is somehow in the playoffs for the first time because Antoletia also lost. Wait a minute...

Taeshan wrote:I mean Antoletia could lose as well. Seems probable in my book.

WITCH CRAFT!

Chiata also lost. So both my nations that were in 1st for the majority of qualifying fell to second.

by **San Llera** » Mon Apr 06, 2015 1:59 pm

Just realized a posted an RP in the results thread a while back. Oops. It's been deleted, but sorry for my carelessness and thanks to the nations that notified me.

Group 3, conversely, had the most of either. Commisserations to the Royal Barangay - I've also once been in the situation of having a 11-1-2 record and yet being kept at arm's reach by a first seed (shout-out to Valladares) and Christ, I know how frustrating that can be. Good luck in the playoffs.

Dunno what's worse, failing to make the playoff on the last day or knowing you can't make it.

Well, even if you had won, you wouldn't have made it, so there's nothing you could have done better that would have helped. That should be some consolation.
